âI never thought that there would be such a talented individual in the Holy Light Galaxy.â
Watching as Chu Feng raised his cultivation from rank five Utmost Exalted level to rank eight Utmost Exalted level, Yu Lie couldnât help but remark in astonishment.
He glanced at Yu Hong and Yu Yin and remarked, âItâs no wonder why the two of them would fall in defeat before him. Even I am no match for him in terms of talent.â
His words caused huge waves to rise in the hearts of those listening.
This was an affirmation coming from the Yu Lie himself!
A person who had once shaken the Holy Light Galaxy with his talents was admitting that he was not on par with Chu Feng?
âYu Lie, you canât be thinking of admitting defeat just like that, are you? That would really be a huge pity,â Chu Feng asked.
âOf course not. Iâll give it my all against you. So, Brother Chu Feng, I hope that you wonât look down on me either. You might be talented, but Iâm no pushover either.â
Klang!
As Yu Lie said those words, he whipped out a sword shrouded in flames. It was an Incomplete Exalted Armament.
With this sword in his grasp, his fighting prowess rose significantly.
A blazing flame arced across the air, arriving right before Chu Feng in the blink of an eye.
Klang!
A metallic reverberation sounded. Yu Lieâs attack had been deflected.
Taking a closer look, the crowd realized that Chu Feng was wielding a sword too. It was also an Incomplete Exalted Armament too.
Shoosh!
Chu Feng flicked his wrist and went on the offensive, slashing his sword toward Yu Lieâs neck.
On the other hand, Yu Lie took a step back and tilted slightly to the side to evade the Chu Fengâs slash. At the same time, he pulled his fire sword upward to slash at Chu Fengâs chest.
In response, Chu Feng ducked down before retaliating with yet another slash.
Klang klang klang!
Sparks scattered all around the place. The swords of the two fighters clashed again and again with one another even though their attacks tended to brush by their opponents more often than not.
The two of them didnât utilize any martial skill or secret arts. With just the sword in their hands, they traded blows with one another.
âChu Feng is actually fighting against Yu Lie with just a sword in hand? And on top of that, he managed to stand his ground?â
Shocked gasps sounded all around the place.
It wouldnât have brought about such a reaction if Chu Feng was fighting with anyone else, but that was Yu Lie over there!
Yu Lie was renowned for his swordsmanship. As long as he had a sword in his hand, he was practically unrivaled amongst his peers.
The reason for that was due to a set of sword techniques that Yu Lie obtained out of coincidence.
This sword technique was able to be applied to any weapons. As oneâs cultivation rose, the prowess of this sword technique would grow correspondingly too.
Twenty years back, Shengguang Yu was known for his swordsmanship too, but despite so, he was still defeated under Yu Lieâs sword.
Due to that, other than his title as the most talented prodigy in the Holy Light Galaxy, he also had another nicknameâJunior Sword God!
Amongst the younger generation, he was the peerless existence in the field of swordsmanship. No one stood a chance against the sword in his hand at all.
His swordsmanship wasnât just effective against other swords. No matter what weapon his opponent was wielding, as long as he had a sword in his hand, Yu Lie would always emerge victorious.
And yet, Chu Feng was actually managing to rival him. Their fight was so close that it was hard to determine who had the upper hand.
Given so, it was inevitable that the crowd would be surprised.
âDid Brother Yu Lieâs swordsmanship deteriorate? Or did he go easy on Chu Feng?
âHow could Chu Feng possibly be an equal to him? What rights did he have? Thereâs no way this can be true!â
Yu Hong refused to believe what he was seeing before him. He felt that there was another reason behind this, and he bellowed indignantly out of agitation.
âNo, Yu Lieâs swordsmanship didnât deteriorate, and he isnât going easy on Chu Feng either,â the Yu Heavenly Clanâs Clan Chief replied.
âLord Clan Chief, if the two of them are really clashing with their full strength, how can they possibly be in a stalemate for so long?â Yu Hong asked in incomprehension.
âChu Fengâs swordsmanship is superb... No, to be more exact, itâs his ability to wield his weapon, or in other words, his combat experience. That Chu Feng has a lot of combat experience, and itâs due to that that heâs able to see through a lot of Yu Lieâs move and counter against them. In other words, even if Chu Feng was wielding some other weapon, he would still be able to fight Yu Lie to that extent,â the Yu Heavenly Clanâs Clan Chief replied.
âHe would still be that formidable... even without wielding a sword?â
The crowd from the Yu Heavenly Clan was dumbstruck.
That was a very high compliment that was given to Chu Feng.
Furthermore, it was coming from their Clan Chief himself, such that they had no choice but to believe it.
âBut...â
Speaking up to this point, the Yu Heavenly Clanâs Clan Chief started falling in deep thought.
âWhatâs wrong, Lord Clan Chief?â
Yu Hong and Yu Yin werenât the only ones who wanted to hear the Yu Heavenly Clanâs Clan Chief view on this matter. Even the elders within the clan had pricked up their ears out of curiosity as well, wanting to know what their Clan Chief had noticed.
âHow could someone of the younger generation have so much combat experience? Was he taught by a formidable expert? Or did he spend his life undergoing tribulation after tribulation?â
The Yu Heavenly Clanâs Clan Chief remarked as he looked at Chu Feng contemplatively.
This was the first time that someone from the younger generation felt unfathomable to him.
Shoosh!
Shoosh!
All of a sudden, a cold glint flashed across the air, and blood splattered all around.
Yu Lie, who had been clashing blows with Chu Feng all this while, suddenly retreated in a fluster, stepping out of the combat ring.
And with his retreat, the crowd noticed that there was a sword wound on his cheek. It was very light, but it was indubitably a sword wound.
Yu Lie had actually sustained some injury! Despite being dubbed as the Junior Sword God, he was outdone by another junior in a clash between swords!
And on top of that, his opponent was still completely unharmed!
Yu Lie... actually lost?!?!
âBrother Chu Feng, you have excellent swordsmanship. I have crossed swords with many cultivators, and I have faced sabers, spears, halberds, axes, and all sorts of different weapons, but there was no one in the same generation who could overcome my sword.
âBut today, I have lost to you. It was all worth it. Being able to meet a worthy opponent like you, I have not spent my life in vain. Exhilarating! It was truly exhilarating! Hahaha!!!â
Even though Yu Lie had lost in a battle of swordsmanship, he wasnât upset at all. On the contrary, he burst into laughter.
It could be seen that he thoroughly enjoyed the battle he had with Chu Feng.
Boom!
But all of a sudden, Yu Lie flicked his wrist, and the flames on his sword suddenly intensified.
At the same time, his eyes also grew far sharper than before.
âBut Brother Chu Feng, we havenât determined a victor for this battle yet. Iâll be bringing out my specialty from now onward.â
As Yu Lie said those words, his body began to burst into flames. It was just that the flame was not red in color but silver.
âHoly heaven! That flame... Could that be Yu Lieâs renowned ultimate technique, rank three Exalted Taboo, Heavenâs Inferno?â
âIs Brother Yu Lie finally getting serious?â
Seeing the changes with Yu Lie, the vexed juniors of the Yu Heavenly Clan suddenly regained their excitement.
Even though Yu Lie was dubbed as the Junior Sword God, everyone in the Yu Heavenly Clan knew that his true prowess was only brought out when he utilized martial skills.
Swordsmanship was just one of his strengths, but his true trump card lay in his martial skills!
